When my mama said that she wanted us to go out you don't understand how bad I wanted to vanish into a wall and never come back. Like she knew the situation between Toriah and I why would insist we all have a big family dinner?!It just doesn't make sense and I'm not feeling this at all.
"Come on ma, it's getting late and Deuce is probably exhausted. I know I am." I noted dragging on any excuse.
So that she would hop off my nuts but that's not the case. When my mum is content , she's contended meaning that this little "dinner" is happening. She won't take no for an answer.
I wonder where I got it from? Oh yeah her.
"Deuce is not tired. He done slept in the car already. He'll be fine and besides you're not the one driving are you." She said making me groan.
"But ma—"
"AHT AHT!— No ifs, and buts. We're going out and that's final. We'll see you at the diner and send Toriah the address." She walked off not even giving me a chance to reply.
"See. I can't win with this woman."
Alexis just chuckled and interlocks her hand with mine.
"I know. Come on sweetheart, let's go."

The drive to the hotel was pretty peaceful aside from the sound of Deuces ipad. Alexis had passed out on my shoulder awhile back. So I was just in my thoughts.
Thinking about how I'm going to reveal the news to My mama and Toriah about how Lexi and I are exclusive.
My mama I'm not worried about so much.
She's been the captain of this ship for a minute so I know she's gonna be thrilled.
It's just Toriah that's irritating me.
I don't want her to think Lexi got with me just to spite her. No, it was more than that.
I've had feelings for Alexis before Toriah and I were even together.
She was my rock the one that kept me motivated, when Toriah was pregnant, she was there, heck she would've been my wife by now and Deuce is biological mother.
If it wasn't for freaking that D nigga. He ruined everything he knew that I liked Alexis yet he got with her back back then so that I couldn't.
And in the end, the relationship resulted in both of them getting mentally fucked up. It's not my story to tell.
This feeling that I have for Lexi is more than just a liking towards.
It's love... I love her.
I haven't told her because we've only been together for about 2 months now. So I don't wanna scare her off.
